hopefully they have egp if charged

| Quote: Dave K. "I disagree we managed to get back into the game and looked in control until Connors kick into touch and the poor discipline. Poor game from Watts, gave the ball away in a good position, gave away two crucial pens, got sin binned and why didn't he just drop on that ball late in the 2nd half instead of kicking it
Discipline is hurting us, made Kelly miss the game, main reason we lost last Thursday and could mean we are without Taylor and Watts for this weeks game'"
It's a shame we missed that tackle though otherwise we'd have won anyway.

Hard to say as only 4 points up with 39 mins left, anything could have happened,very very unusual for Houghton to miss this kind of tackle,maybe shows how strong Bird is.

| It was the only tackle out of 67 that Houghton missed, don't think we can be too harsh on him.

was taylors' worthy of a 2 game ban? i dont think so, but we are dealing with the rfl, plus watts got a sin bin so hopefully it may give him 1 less game on the review

| I think we're in for a rough time on Thursday. .
Watts I'd say is nailed on missing
Hopefully Taylor and ellis play
Combined with a really bad timed (for us) England camp involving 3 key men I'm not remotely confident tbh
Hudds really don't scare me as a team but I'm not sure we can switch up from the dross we served on Friday to a win Thursday when pre season we've shown nothing and could have suspension and injury concerns with key men in England camp

When is the England camp?
Wont Hudds have a couple of players in there also?

Won't have their fullback or hooker there. Kinda key positions when training to sort your attack out. There today I'm sure I saw. Given a thursday game only leaves today and tuesday at best as real training days. Usually a couple before you have off..Then a run through (captains run) of what you're gonna do in the game day before. So prep is far from ideal considering the level we're off going by Fridays performance

| Hopefully Huddersfield won't play in the same grubby manner as Catalans. This would mean us not getting dragged into the turgid sort of game we had on Thursday and will allow us to play more in the fashion of last season. We can but hope!!

Just looked, it's only today, not much needs changing really, better weather and using our brains will be a start, don't think the camp will effect us at all.

How the opposition play shouldn't dictate what we do, if that's the case then we've got problems.

| I think people expect too much of the squad given the salary cap we have available. You simply cant have first class players in every position all the time. Wigan and Warrington have players who I wouldn't even consider for Hull's 17, but its all about the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
Yes Bowden and Green are a drop in quality from the starters. But Taylor and Watts could feasibly be the England front row, of course there will be drop off. Bowden and Green are as good a two props as anyone else carries on their bench.
That said when Hadley is fit I think I would start him and bring Mini off the bench to try to keep a bit more impact on the field across the 80 minutes.
As for the way we've been attacking. Well the Wakefield game was a write off on that front, and although the weather on Thursday wasn't that bad in the end we no doubt prepared all week to play very patient and simple. Its not easy to change that at the last minute. Lets see how we go on Thursday with Kelly back and (hopefully) decent conditions. If we still look as toothless then we can maybe start asking questions, but now its far too early to tell.
